FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD!
Conventional wisdom holds that home sellers fare best when they stick
to neutral colors because buyers are better able to imagine themselves in
homes that do not display colors that might be too eccentric. While this may
be true, it seems that many buyers have become influenced by the colors,
designs, and materials they have seen on many of the home-makeover shows
featured on cable TV. In fact, a recent analysis by a nationwide online real
estate site reveals that buyers attach more value to homes that sport a bit
more personality. Sellers may therefore want to see which color is currently
most in favor and adorn their front doors or interior accent walls with it.
The term "neutral colors" doesn't limit you to shades of white and beige.
With a little pre-planning and a sense for the effect color has on the mind,
you can use browns, greens and even bolder colors to highlight your home.

HINT: When sprucing up their homes for sale, sellers should ask their
real estate professionals and designers what colors, materials, and surface
finishes sell best.
